Hello again. as Dan said we had our first teaching session today at Laxmi gardens.Preparing was difficult. I needed to scan and copy, print material for the class and of course the thing would not work. Prakashes friend Yogesh a former student of ours came and fixed it for free. The problem was that while we were away a mouse had found it to be a fine home and its droppings had siezed the carriage. All fixed now.The monk Vinasiel has a new novice at his temple who was quite bemused by us. We had about 20 children aged from 5 to 14 and we got a great welcome.About 10 adults wached the class and did the test of their knowledge of prepositions. They said that they were not cheating just cooperating, ha ha.It was a long walk in and out and I needed pain killers for my hip by the time we got back but both of us were very happy people with a job well done and recieved. Ram Sing our rickshaw pedaller is comming to see me tomorrow morning and things will be easier with him back on board as he collects us from the flat waits for us and brings us back again. Tonight I was visited by our plumber to ask for classes, he was accompanied by his friend who is a Hindu priest studying astrology at uni. He has left an open invitation to visit his temple.Tired out going to bed now.

Great picture of what you are encountering!!! so different from the early days - many more people to help, students, rickshaw driver etc. Lovely to hear of the broadening interest too. I hope you don't have too many long walks and get enough rest to recover. Namo amida bu Love
